Meh. Just meh.
So my research class was fantastic, and I think I learned more in 2 hours than I did in my entire research methods class last fall.
My stats class? Well…I cried. Seriously. I showed up, there was no professor, there was a TA…whatever. So I sat down at the computer and waited…and waited…then finally realized there was not going to be a professor. No. The class that I signed up for specifically because it was NOT an online course and had a real live teacher is, in fact, an online course. Well…to be fair, they call it a ‘hybrid’ – where about 80% is done online, and then we go to about 4 required class meetings. What-fucking-ever. I was SO mad. So I tried to figure out through the e-learning system what the hell was going on. It was when I was having trouble figuring out the syllabus that I cried. Not a whole lot…but sheesh. The syllabus makes me cry? Can’t wait for the rest of the class. I sent out an email to a different section that meets in July that I originally backed out of because it’s not on the main campus – now, if she’ll still let me in the class, I’m dropping this online mess.
My public speaking class? They were a little quiet today, but I’m hoping (desperately) that that will change. Soon. I did find out that one girl should be a junior, but credit-wise is a young sophomore (can someone say ‘likes to party’?) and is petrified of peanut butter. She said she’s afraid of the smell, the taste, the color, the texture…oh-kay!
So I came home and listened to my stats lecture. Twice. Sigh.
Is it July yet?





Afraid of peanut butter? As in, peanut butter peanut butter or some other peanut butter? Sorry, but that is just hilarious. I mean allergies, OK, I get that and have met kids with that issue (no adults, though… odd), but I don’t think they were afraid unless it was in their mouths or something.
Hope you can get in the other class!

Craziness. That happened to me once too. I thought it was an actual class but wasn’t: “What’s going on?”
Hope everything’s better on the second day.

That’s awful on the online course thing. I can see some classes, but stats is a hard one. Odd for them to do that. Totally not cool.
Ok the peanut butter phobia has me cracking up over here. There has to be a technical term for that. And I think it should be my new favorite word…
